Just learned there's a 9,000 year old city underwater in the Mediterranean near Greece

There's a whole town called Pavlopetri off the coast of Greece that's like 5,000 years old and you can snorkel over the streets and buildings. I watched a documentary on it and it blew my mind that people were living there before the pyramids were even built.

That's wild to think about, @noahhernandez. So basically people had a whole town mapped out with streets and buildings while the rest of the world was still figuring out how to stack rocks. Must be nice to live somewhere where your old neighborhood is just sitting underwater like a time capsule. Meanwhile my backyard floods after a solid rain and I'm supposed to be impressed. Makes you wonder what else is hiding under the ocean that we haven't found yet, right?
